For a moment, anger bubbled in the back of your throat like bile, and it was all you could do to avoid getting into another shouting match with your brother. If it weren’t for Peter being just down the hall, you just might’ve. But thankfully, your restraint won out, and you lowered your voice to a whisper that sounded more like an angry hiss.
<span class="mu-r">“I’ll have you know that not all my money is stolen. A good bit of it was earned from the jobs I’ve taken. And if it wasn’t for my ‘money and resources’, my friend would’ve died that night at the hospital.”</span>
Richard seemed taken aback by your change in attitude. You just rolled right over him.
<span class="mu-r">“It’s what’s putting Cindy through school, and improving the lives of a bunch of homeless mutants. So don’t say that I’m not using them to help people.”</span>
Richard was at a loss for words, which gave you the much needed time required to get your own breathing under control.
<span class="mu-b">“Ben, I didn’t mean to…I didn’t know about the mutants-”</span>
The sound of a faucet being shut off broke you out of your spell, and both your heads turned to regard Peter. He approached the kitchen with a sort of nervous energy that told you he had picked up on some of the hostility that you were projecting.
<span class="mu-b">“Are you guys arguing?”</span> he asked cautiously.
You and Richard exchanged a look.
What will you say?
>”No, of course not. I just caught your dad here trying to heat up the frozen veggies in the fridge. I think he wants to force-feed them to you before bed. Wanna help me stop him? It'll be our very first team-up.”>"I was trying to convince your dad to let you have a second slice, but he won't budge. I could never convince him of anything when we were kids, but maybe you'll have better luck in that department.">”Everything’s good here. I just remembered that I had something to do tonight. I’ll be back another day, with an even bigger cake. I promise.” (Leave before Vic gets back. You need to cool off and get some fresh air.)>Let Richard explain. It’s his kid, after all.>Write-in.Pastebins:
